Winamp should suffice most uses yep, I thought Real Player was a part of history now?

Re: Winamp Versus wmp Versus VLC Versus Versus....
I'll throw a forth player into the discussion, I like Itunes, the people at GW Micro have - at long last - done a great job with the iTunes scripts and it works like clockwork. the software can be a little challenging for beginners but there are plenty of help guides and tutorials around. I mainly like iTunes I have to admit for the "Smart Playlist" feature where you can create aplaylist and literally programme it to play what you want to be played, for example if a song has been played over so many times, if a song was added on a particular date and so on.

Re: Winamp Versus wmp Versus VLC Versus....
I use Winamp full time for just about everything except buy music or manage my iDevices, which I use iTunes for. I say this as Winamp can apparently manage your iPod in a limited way, but choose to use iTunes for that and Winamp for others. I know you didn't want anything to rip or burn, but I will pass the below on anyway. The free version of Winamp allows you to rip at a maximum of 8x in the M4A, or iTunes, format. I'm happy with this personally as M4a is the best compared to MP3 in terms of audio quality (excellent) and file size (smaller than even MP3). You can burn with the free version of Winamp as well but I think you are limited to 2x. Anyway back to the point. Winamp is fully accessible providing you use the classic not the bundled modern skin that it comes with. It works with all screen readers, with or without scripts or sets or whatever. I've been using Winamp since 2001, yes 2001, when I was on Windows ME and Winamp was 2.7x, something silly like that. I use 5.622 and it is still as accessible as the early days. There was one unsuccessful version of Winamp, Winamp 3, which was an absolute disaster in terms of accessibility, and almost turned to another player until I tried version 5.0x. Just some thoughts.

Re: Winamp Versus wmp Versus VLC Versus....
It does use scripts, but they come with Jaws. Most plug-ins are free. - Original Message - From: "Walter" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 8:54 PM Subject: RE: Winamp Versus wmp Versus VLC Versus Hi. Well mainly I want other options other than the two I currently use. The ability to navigate with in a file and particularly the bookmark facility would be most helpful. My main concern is just how accessible the programme is with JAWS. Also, I understand there are plug ins for the programme, are they free or do they have a cost attached to them. Also, exactly what does the basic version offer? Does the ability to navigate within files and bookmarks come within the scope of the standard version or are scripts required to get full functionality from the programme. A blind person can use Gold wave without the scripts if they know what they are doing but to get the full benefit Scripts are really necessary for gold Wave, is Winamp the same? Finally, what other programmes have the Bookmark facility and ability to navigate within a file.

Re: Winamp Versus wmp Versus VLC Versus....
Walter: I would say that Winamp is most accessible; someone I know will correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, no special scripts are needed to do things like move within a file and so forth.

What are you looking for in a media player? I like Winamp because I can manage my local libraries, my portable media players and my podcasts. I also like the bookmarks feature and the ability to skip around in a file. Handling content over the internet isv't very accessible though. I like FooBar 2000 because it's interface is so simple.

Re: Winamp Versus wmp Versus VLC Versus....
I haven't tried all of the players you mentioned. But I have used WMP, Real Player and Winamp; I like Winamp the best! For one thing, with Winamp, it's quite easy to get from point A to point B in a file; you can adjust the volume (without having to worry that you'll also mess up the volume of your screen reader (Real Player used to have that problem; they may have fixed that now) but for what I've used players for, I like Winamp!

Re: Winamp Versus wmp Versus VLC Versus....
I like Winamp because I can always go to the title bar and tell what's playing. I have never figured out a way to get WMP to display that, unless I am looking in the wrong place. I like the Winamp Book feature, but I can't figure out a way to categorize things. To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

You're not going to hear any difference in sound quality from player to player. The only ways to improve sound quality are to use uncompressed files, or a better audio card.
